                        Wednesday, May 11, 2011

  Mr. GARDNER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Anne Fulton from 
Greeley, Colorado.
  Anne's story reminds us that out of tragedy, opportunity is born. One 
August 16, 2003, Anne lost her 19-year-old son Judd Fulton in a fatal 
automobile accident. Judd was an exemplary student and athlete. He was 
a graduate of the inaugural class at Northridge High School in Greeley 
in 2003. Not only did Judd excel in the classroom, he was a phenomenal 
student athlete. It was his skill on the football field that earned him 
a scholarship to Black Hills State University in Spearfish, South 
Dakota. Judd was returning to the University from his home in Colorado 
at the time of the accident.
  Out of this horrible tragedy Anne Fulton, Judd's mother, saw 
opportunity. In 2005, Anne started a Memorial Scholarship Fund in her 
son's name. The Judd Kazuto Fulton Memorial Scholarship is a dedicated 
scholarship fund for Northridge High School students and Black Hills 
State University football players.
  Every year, Anne holds a fundraiser for the scholarship by holding a 
Golf Tournament in Eaton, Colorado. This tournament happens every May 
and raises money and increases awareness for this memorial scholarship. 
Anne describes her son as unassuming, dedicated, hard working team 
player, with a willingness to do whatever it took to get the job done. 
Students who receive this scholarship exemplify the same 
characteristics.
  It is my honor to remember Judd Fulton today, and to recognize Anne 
Fulton for her never-ending dedication, hard work, and for improving 
the lives of students in Greeley, Colorado. She has provided many with 
opportunities they could have only dreamed about. Thanks to Anne's 
generosity and tireless effort, the dream of these students has become 
reality.
